Gordon Ramsay’s Great British Pub Food
In his outstanding new cookbook, Gordon Ramsay teams up with Mark Sargeant to showcase the best of British cooking. Packed full of sumptuous and hearty traditional recipes, Gordon Ramsay's Great British Pub Food is perfect for relaxed, homely and comforting cooking.
Pubs were once a place where you could always guarantee good, simple, cheap food and a great Sunday roast, but when the steak houses and fast food chains arrived the good home cooking from the pub kitchens was replaced with tasteless, defrosted meals. Then came the gastropubs, which weren't much better, serving mediocre food at restaurant prices.
That's why when Gordon Ramsay and Mark Sargeant set up the Gordon Ramsay pubs in London they wanted to produce the sort of simple but delicious British classics that warm the cockles of your heart and to serve them at affordable pub prices. Dishes like rich, hearty Chicken and Smoked Bacon Pie, mouth-watering Gloucestershire Sausages with Grainy Mustard Mash and Red Onion Marmalade and indulgent Treacle Tart - classics that have stood the test of time.
Now Gordon has gathered his favourite British recipes into one sumptuous collection so you can invite your friends round, serve some good, English ale and cook the best in traditional pub food classics in your own home.

About the author
Gordon Ramsay
178 books694 followersGordon James Ramsay is a British celebrity chef, restaurateur, television presenter, and writer. His restaurant group, Gordon Ramsay Restaurants, was founded in 1997 and has been awarded 17 Michelin stars overall and currently holds eight. His signature restaurant, Restaurant Gordon Ramsay in Chelsea, London, has held three Michelin stars since 2001. After rising to fame on the British television miniseries Boiling Point in 1999, Ramsay became one of the best-known and most influential chefs in the world.
Ramsay's TV persona is defined by his fiery temper, aggressive behaviour, strict demeanour, and frequent use of profanity, while making blunt, critical, and controversial comments, including insults and sardonic wisecracks about contestants and their cooking abilities. He combines activities in the television, film, hospitality and food industries, and has promoted and hired various chefs who have apprenticed under his wing. He is known for presenting television programmes about competitive cookery and food, such as the British series Hell's Kitchen (2004), Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares (2004–2009, 2014), and The F Word (2005–2010), with Kitchen Nightmares winning the 2005 British Academy Television Award for Best Feature, and the American versions of Hell's Kitchen (2005–present), Kitchen Nightmares (2007–present), MasterChef (2010–present), and MasterChef Junior (2013–present), as well as Hotel Hell (2012–2016), Gordon Behind Bars (2012), Gordon Ramsay's 24 Hours to Hell and Back (2018–2020), and Next Level Chef (2022–present).
Ramsay was appointed an OBE by Queen Elizabeth II in the 2006 New Year Honours list for services to the hospitality industry. He was named the top chef in the UK at the 2000 Catey Awards, and in July 2006 he won the Catey for Independent Restaurateur of the Year, becoming the third person to win three Catey Awards. Forbes listed his 2020 earnings at US $70 million and ranked him at No.19 on its list of the highest-earning celebrities.

Making me hungry
The most exciting cookbook? No. More like a pamphlet on British Pub Food, at least in the kindle edition. No pictures to inspire. And none of Gordon Ramsay's character and humour seems to be present.

You can totally tell that Brit pub food is Gordon Ramsay's thing - there were so many delicious looking recipes in here!!
Last night we made the "Pork Cheeks in Spices and Bashed Neeps." What's a neep, you may ask? It turns out that it's mashed rutabaga. (We just made mashed potatoes instead). But the sauce on the pork was soooo delicious!
I definitely want to make more recipes from this book. And now go to a proper British pub!!
A picture with nearly every recipe. A+!

Difficult layout on kindle. Some dishes out of reach of the casual cook. Disappointed.

Typical English pub food, great to see the recipes in a book. It was a nice book. Loved the artsy pictures. Easy to follow, I will try out some of these recipes to get the English feeling in the weekend.

Interesting recipes, poorly formatted, no pictures
I will try some of theses recipes as they are interesting. This would have been better if the recipes were page separated instead of running one right after the other. Some of the recipes refer to pages within the book, however there are no page numbers shown, just "locations" which are meaningless. Finally none of the recipes had photographs which I found to be disappointing.
